agonistes Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I left after the Charlie Hunter Trio's first set because I have an early flight tomorrow morning, but I would have LOVED to have stayed and seen the whole thing. WOW. I was blown away by Nels and company -- came away with a real sense of awe and appreciation for what he can do, and I feel like I get a little bit better why he stays on the road so much. What I've heard of his has been what he played on his podcast, and also Draw Breath, and the music makes more sense to me now that I've actually seen people playing it -- now I understand that there are rules to free jazz, but not necessarily what those rules are! I was also really impressed by the Charlie Hunter Trio -- a nice changeup from Nels's set. Something they have in common that I really appreciated was just how much FUN they were all having, and how clearly that came through in their performances. I did notice a taper for Charlie Hunter, but not for Nels (which doesn't mean he didn't get both!), so maybe something will be up soon. Anybody else go? What did you think?
